I resent the whole concept of having to pay your provider for an unlock code even when you own the damned phone.

Eh, since I use the phone with whatever service I bought it thru, its not a big issue for me.

You need to pay attention more my friend. I am the biggest Linux fanboy on here well at least as far as Grind sees it. I virtually never use Windows 7 except to occasionally do some updates. I currently run Ubuntu 12.10, Kubuntu 12.10, Linux Mint 13 and Zorin 6.0. I also know how to use torrents to get pirate software and media content but I don't like doing that if at all possible.

So what if you want to change your carrier? Bear in mind that I am speaking generally and not just about you.

As I said, my cell I use now is provided by my employer, so its not an issue. I don't own the phone or pay the bill.
Before, when I kept my own service & phone, when I switched carriers it was at the end of a contract so I was due for a new phone. Why carry an old phone when there are new and better ones for that are not that expensive?

There is a general principle which you are avoiding, namely that a provider should not have the right to keep a phone locked after the contract expires and then charge a fee to unlock it. What if they did that with cars or guns?

Theres always some companies that will be willing to carry your unblocked phone. Like Cricket.

You can't the wood for the trees, anyway it's your country and if nobody's bothered then why should I care. Just so long as they don't try that shit over here.

I'm not exactly hip to what all of this lock/un-lock stuff means, Tom. That's why I appear nonchalant over this matter.

That is the way the games are played. The politicians write laws sufficiently vague then leave it up to then"regulators" to interpret.
Too much power resides with these unelected bureaucrats. I think people have gotten so used to giving up liberties, it just doesn't matter anymore.
Hell a guy who made a YouTube video only 200 people saw is sitting in jail while a certain lady is being touted as a leading Presidential candidate. That is how far we have sunk as a country

What guy is sitting in jail for making a YouTube video?
And why is the fact that a certain lady being touted as a leading Presidential candiate a sign of how far we have sunk as a country?

You really surprise me, when you get a phone via a carrier it is locked to that network. If you want to take it abroad or use another network you can't unless it is unlocked. This law means that even when the phone is out of contract you have to pay them a fee to have it unlocked.
